Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place,
“And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.
And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.
And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.
He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skillfully worked into it he made it. And for it he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver. He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework, and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.
